Not open for further replies.
In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams
I don't need another change, still you forced away into my scheme of things
You say we're growing, growing heart and soul
In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
Oh sweet name, I call you again, you're born once again for me
Just because I believe don't mean I don't think as well
Don't have to question everything in heaven or hell

CHORUS
Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?

In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
just as long as I can see, I'll never stop this vision flowing
I look twice and you're still flowing
Just as long as I can walk
I'll walk beside you, I'm alive in you
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
And I'm ready to shape the scheme of things

Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things (5 times)
Ooh...

Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?

(No, I haven't gone all religious: it's a David Bowie Song, Word on a Wing :cool: )
 
I'm drinking that whiskey out of that glass
And if that ain't country, boy you can kiss my ass.

Country Heroes by Hank Williams 3
 
I was thinking of a series of dreams
Where nothing comes up to the top
Everything stays down where it's wounded
And comes to a permanent stop
Wasn't thinking of anything specific
Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams
Nothing too very scientific
Just thinking of a series of dreams

Thinking of a series of dreams
Where the time and the tempo fly
And there's no exit in any direction
'Cept the one that you can't see with your eyes
Wasn't making any great connection
Wasn't falling for any intricate scheme
Nothing that would pass inspection
Just thinking of a series of dreams

Dreams where the umbrella is folded
Into the path you are hurled
And the cards are no good that you're holding
Unless they're from another world

In one, numbers were burning
In another, I witnessed a crime
In one, I was running, and in another
All I seemed to be doing was climb
Wasn't looking for any special assistance
Not going to any great extremes
I'd already gone the distance
Just thinking of a series of dreams

(Dylan)
 
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

(Nina Simone's version)
 
Shrill demented choirs, darkness at noon
The awful testament of Owen and Sassoon
You were there in France, a poet too
You said so little: we never knew

What you saw
on the ghost road

You were born in 1899
Died when I was ten, we had so little time
You left me music, poetry
A lust for life and a whiff of destiny

Of one day
On the ghost road

Like lambs to the slaughter your comrades went out
A fever confined you to bed
You lay there transfixed when the message came through
That every single one of them was dead

In what would be your hundredth year
I celebrate your life and raise a beer
Through the hopes, the dreams, the agony
And the breadth of my father’s century

I look back
on the ghost road

For Bill Baine
1899-1968

I'm sitting at Guy Fawkes' table
The day Parliament voted for war
Though the mass of the people opposed it
And it flouts international law
I'm sitting at Guy Fawkes' table
While American thugs flaunt their power
Egged on by a sad little muppet
And his craven and cowardly shower.

Aneurin Bevan, your party is dead
And the time for a new one is nigh
Will the last person Left please turn out the lights?
New Labour, just fuck off and die.

They won't be caught up in the carnage
They'll be pontificating right here
Their kids won't be Iraqi conscripts
Moved down while they're shitting with fear
Saddam was the Yanks’ chosen ally
On a whim, they now say he must fall
So they’ll carpet bomb defenceless soldiers -
But that’s not ‘mass destruction’ at all....

Aneurin Bevan, your party is dead
And the time for a new one is nigh
Will the last person Left please turn out the lights?
New Labour, just fuck off and die.

I'm sitting at Guy Fawkes' table
As Bush and his muppet connive
And I'm filled with unspeakable anger
And I'm thinking of 1605
One message, Dishonourable Members
Who endorsed an illegal attack -
No, I don't want to bomb you like Guy did
But I'd love to send you to Iraq.

Aneurin Bevan, your party is dead
And the time for a new one is nigh
Will the last person Left please turn out the lights?
New Labour, just fuck off and die.

We need a new socialist party -
But not the Judean People's Front
Not another small sect, but a movement
With the power to change and confront
We need an electoral system
Which gives every voter a voice
'Cos we're fed up with voting for traitors
And we have the right to a choice!
 
Said me Nah Goa Jail
Fe ganja no more
I'm a Nah Goa Jail
(CHORUS)
This here smoke
That you see me with sir
I just got it from an officer
And this here little bit of green sensimilla
I just got it from an inspector
He's my friend
CHORUS
When you see me
Walking down the street
It is time that you respect to me
'Cause from I ever know myself
I don't know why you always harass me
CHORUS
I hear one leader say
If it wasn't for the little sensi
Him no know what happen to the economy
I see another leader
Go in a Half Way Tree
And he set them ganja prisoners free
CHORUS
This here spliff that you see me with sir
I just got it from a priest sir
And this little bit of brown sensimilla
I just got it from a minister
My my my friend
CHORUS
I been there too many times...
Too many work to do...
 
It's raining, it's pouring
My lovelife is boring me to tears, after all these years
No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance
We don't stand a chance
I always dreamed I'd found the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
I've loved,
I've loved
Raining (raining)
Pouring (pouring)
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waste another tear
If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff, don't you doit
If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can doit
Tell him to just get out,
Nothing left to talk about
Pack his raincoat show him out
Just look him in the eye and simply shout:
Enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough
If you've reached the end, don't pretend that is right when it'sover
(it's over)
If the feeling is gone don't think twice just move on, get itover
(over, over)
Tell him to just get out, say it clearly, spell it out:
Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough
I always dreamed I'd found the perfect lover,
But he turned out to be like every other man
I've loved (I had no choice from the start)
I've loved (I've gotta listen to my heart)
I've loved (Tearing us apart)
Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough
No more tears (No more tears)
No more tears (No more tears)
No more tears (No more tears)
No more tears (No more tears)
Enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough
I've had it, you've had it, she's had it, we've had it
I always dreamed I'd found the perfect lover,
But he turned out to be like every other man
I had no choice from the start
I've gotta listen to my heart
Tearing us apart
Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister
Goodbye sugar
It's raining, it's pouring,
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waste another tear
No more tears
Is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough isenough
Is enough!
 
This is the fugees, outsiders up in here:
[clef]:chorus
Everyone wants to be a cowboy
Grab your guns boy
Forty-five by my side,
No the nigger dies.
[pace1]
Zen, zen zen zen zen zen zen
You shot your bullet, but the bullet when ****
Desperado, do work for new boy
I pull out my gun and plug two like trugoy
[wyclef]
Wyclef
[pace1]
Pace 1
[wyclef]
Yo this was how the west was won,
[pace1]
Our motto, a true desperado.
[wyclef]
Rappers want to be actors
So they play the jesse james character
[pace1]
And get they bones fractured.
[pace1]
You ain’t got no guns, you off to the precinct
Inside tuff guys are feminine like sheena easton
[wyclef]
Woman cry, woman cry, son still dies
Thrown off the building like the fall guy
Caved in the grave cause you didn’t know how to behave
Playin’ cowboy now you sleep with the slaves
[pace1]
Who’s the desperado, sellin’ bottles in the alley
On some villain shit, wearin’ a mask like jim carrey
With his gat cocked, stinkin’ up the crack spot
Pace 1 dies with both eyes on the jackpot
[wyclef]
The town that I’m from beggars eat cat chowder
Sundance kid is the everyday purse snatcher
If you see him coming, you better start running
Like a terrorist I guarantee you he’ll be humming.
[pace1]
Dynamite, dynamite, clef I got the cash
[wyclef]
Yo let’s skip town like harlem nights.
[lauryn]
We make moves in stage coaches
Ra digga likes the roaches
If anyone approaches
We be like noches, buenos
And I compose a poem for the many gun-slingers
R & b singers, perpetrating guns with two fingers.
[ra digga]
My style is perhaps one of the foulest
I inhale large clouds of smoke through my chalice.
(buckin’ at stars) and write rhymes for hours
The ghetto missy, drinkin’ whiskey sours.
[lauryn]
Bust this scenario, can’t no other niggers in the barrio
(from newark to ontario), bust us when we in stereo.
Cause me and rashida rock the battles
It’s apparent, your no talent, cause your blazin’ in your saddle.
[ra digga]
Watch these rap bitches get all up in your pockets
Then bounce with accountants that give me good stock tips
Cause props is up, digga’s through the roof
Burnin’ niggers like I’m 90 proof.
[lauryn]
And for all you head beaters
The lead eaters, the cheaters soon to be retreaters
While mamasitas carry real heaters.
[ra digga]
I rock the dooby and
L rocks the nubian twists 96
Muthafuckas gettin’ dissed
[clef]:chorus
Everyone wants to be a cowboy
Grab your guns boy
Forty-five by my side,
No the nigger dies.
[young zee]
Yeah, when the out’s hooked up with the refugees
It be more niggas than the naacp
Comin’ up on weed of all type
Smokin’ home-grown out tobacco pipes.
[praz]
(you’ve got to know when to hold them,
Know when to fold them)
I can take the sunshine, piss in your wine
Steal your concubine, walk away with your goldmine.
[young zee]
So ooh aaah achiga, mamase mamasa mamakusa
[praz]
Fuck the sheriff, I shot john wayne
Push him off the runaway train in the movie shane
Yeah me and that kid, um "what’s his name? "
[young zee]
That would be me, young zee from no brain
Smokin’ pure from the health fodd store,
While my whore slaps cops like zsa zsa gabor
Fuck with out’s it’s like those islam brothers,
We march through your hood with a million muthafuckas.
So let’s get high off the fu-gee-la
When the east is in the house, like I’m blahzay-blah
[forte]
When pandemonium strikes, at midnight
Full moon splits soft niggas in a lunatic
On some absurd shit
You talk back, hustlin’ crack don’t make you bigger
Niggas who take your measurements quick, don’t make it quicker.
Stick and slide with vigor
City streets hot like liquor
21 gun salutin, shootin’ niggas from the roof and
Got nerve to mouth about it and the weight you claim you movin’
Your whole style is loose and we gon’ sew it like it’s cotton.
You fail to recognize that everybody could get gotten
The bounty on your head, says your dead by manana
Pop babies whisperin’ that there’s a body dropped, behind the lot
Police blew up the spot and locked the whole block
Medina is the east side of town lounge never till we yawnin’
Gun players regular front page is the bonus
Life will keep existing while I’m shitin’ on the corners
Life will keep existing while I’m shitin’ on the corners
[clef]:chorus
Everyone wants to be a cowboy
Grab your guns boy
Forty-five by my side,
No the nigger dies.
 
They'll tear out your heart, throw it knee-deep in a gut
'cos that's what they do with the scum like me and you
And you feel as if you died, moisture standing on the line
And you wonder all the time why can't you cry?
But the people in control don't care for you
Say you're just a robot with a job to do
And when your use is exhausted, they'll be rid of you
As soon as look at you, go to the back of the queue!
B-B-Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah (sh) ah
(sh) ah (sh) ah (sh) arse
His eyes are dull, they stole his soul
They left him to rot in some stinking cancelled hole
Where they keep him doped on beer and hopes
Of television dreams he's living on the screens
He knows something that he used to believe in
That was: Every human being should have his freedom
But while his dungeon had to wait to show him
He should be more useful, as they broke into his skull
B-B-Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah (sh) ah
(sh) ah (sh) ah (sh) arse
Big brother, beware, 'cos some of us do care
And the word (and the word, and the word, and the word)
They turn (they turn, they turn, they turn)
And the violence (and the violence, and
the violence, and the violence)
In my head (in my head, in my head, in my head) is real
Bam-bam, you're dead!
B-B-Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah (sh) ah
(sh) ah (sh) ah (sh) arse
B-B-Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Big brother's got no heart
When I get my chance
I'm gonna kick him in the ah (sh) ah
(sh) ah (sh) ah (sh) arse
Arse!
 
Daddys best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend
But shes never wanted at home
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb
She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
But with the bird in his hand
And two on a string
The words of love have an imitation ring

You little fool, you little fool
I suppose that your going to stay all night
You little fool
Dont look at me that way you know it isnt right
You little fool

They say no news is good news
The little girl wants information
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
And says go and use your imagination

Daddys best girl in the world says just look what I have got
As she sits beside him on the high stool
With his arm around her neck snowball in one hand
And the other full of imitation jewels
She fingers a string of pearls
An imitation but hell never know it
Imitation lashes flutter above
Looking for an imitation of love

You little fool
I suppose that your going to stay all night
You little fool
So dont look at me that way you know it isnt right
You little fool
 
Ultramarine everything vanishes
Moonlight for my stars in the drift
Not shared through speech
Each sun feels like the last
Death is proclaimed at sunset
By a final light
Which darkness fills
With every shade
Solitude bides time
Joy gives me my last regret
Joy gives me my last regret
Joy gives me my last regret
Joy gives me my last regret
Ultramarine everything vanishes
Moonlight for my stars in the drift
Not shared through speech
Each sun feels like the last
Death is proclaimed at sunset
By a final light
Which darkness fills
With every shade
Solitude bides time
Joy gives me my last regret
Joy gives me my last regret
Joy gives me my last regret
Joy gives me my last regret
 
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They got no work to do,
If you're going NORTH to Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin' about my baby and my happy home.
Going, going to Chicago.. Going to Chicago.. Sorry but I can't take you..
Going down.. going down now.. going down...
 
Sadie, white coat,
carry me home.
Bury this bone,
take this pinecone.

Bury this bone
to gnaw on it later; gnaw on the telephone.
'Till then, we pray & suspend
the notion that these lives do never end.

And all day long we talk about mercy:
lead me to water lord, I sure am thirsty.
Down in the ditch where I nearly served you,
up in the clouds where he almost heard you

And all that we built,
and all that we breathed,
and all that we spilt, or pulled up like weeds
is piled up in back;
it burns irrevocably.
(we spoke up in turns,
'till the silence crept over me)

Bless you
and I deeply do
no longer resolute
and I call to you

But the water go so cold,
and you do lose
what you don't hold.

This is an old song,
these are old blues.
This is not my tune,
but it's mine to use.
And the seabirds
where the fear once grew
will flock with a fury,
and they will bury what'd come for you

Down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
you and I, and a love so tender,
is stretched-on the hoop where I stitch-this adage:
"Bless this house and its heart so savage."

And all that I want, and all that I need
and all that I've got is scattered like seed.
And all that I knew is moving away from me.
(and all that I know is blowing
like tumbleweed)

And the mealy worms
in the brine will burn
in a salty pyre,
among the fauns and ferns.

And the love we hold,
and the love we spurn,
will never grow cold
only taciturn.

And I'll tell you tomorrow.
Sadie, go on home now.
Bless those who've sickened below;
bless us who've chosen so.

And all that I've got
and all that I need
I tie in a knot
that I lay at your feet.
I have not forgot,
but a silence crept over me.
(So dig up your bone,
exhume your pinecone, my sadie)

:(
 
Matchbooks of lonely places I'll never find
Clocks on wall spaces, some peace of mind
I'll never find
What good would it be,
What good would it be,
If you could change every river
That ran through your life and mine?

Cos from here to the county line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh the Scarsdale will be on time
You know shoeshine costs a dime

Hootenanny Annie had a party in the yard
You could smell the barbie out on Ocean Boulevard
Where I went to find, some peace of mind
What good would it be,
What good would it be,
If you could change every heartache
That ran through your life and mine?

Cos from here to the county line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh the Scarsdale will be on time
You know shoeshine costs a dime

With the washroom lights of a bowling alley in your face
You know your car and your plates are really out of place
That goes for your soul
Some holy rock 'n' roll
What good would it be,
What good would it be,
If you could change every heartache
That ran through your life and mine?

Cos from here to the county line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh the Scarsdale will be on time
You know shoeshine costs a dime
Cos from here to the county line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh the Scarsdale will be on time
You know shoeshine costs a dime
 
That old alarm clock gives a yell
Starting another day in hell
Facing a world I can't face with you gone
and in the mirror then I see
someone that used to be me
and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn

The neon light and the jukebox
kind of ease me through the night
I lean hard on that old bottle
'til we no longer stand up right
Oh in the morning in my room
I feel like a body in a tomb
Same old three walls a coming on
kind of strong
oh yes down the freeway then I drive
more dead than alive
and I turn blue in the cold grey light of dawn
 
he liked to kiss the boys
he liked to kiss the girls
he liked to kiss the inbetweeners
rub his tongue on their gums
rub his tongue on their gums
& lie with them
& lie to them
& light it up
i know your little secret
watch my eyes
they see what YOU don't see
they see what YOU know
& what YOU think i don't know
ah but now we both can share
everything we've ever done
everyone we've ever touched
YOU liked the boys and girls
i know your little secret
all the lies
all the hesitation
won't bring me closer now
won't you bring me close
i know your little secret
 
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something' lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its life's illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all

(Joni Mitchell)
 
I am angry I am ill and Im as ugly as sin
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking
I know the meaning of life, it doesnt help me a bit
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it

This is a song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess Im proud as hell of that fact

I know the highest and the best
I accord them all due respect
But the brightest jewel inside of me
Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity

This is a song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess Im proud as hell of that fact

I used to make phantoms I could later chase
Images of all that could be desired
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings
And then I just got tired

This is a song from under the floorboards
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess Im proud as hell of that fact
:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
 
This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.

Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.

Good thieves of burning cars encirle poisened rivers minds and hearts
Horses want to dance but find their wings are damaged, water damaged
Gold is selling well but hurry nightly ocean rising fast
A big man with a plan has got a storm a-coming, monster coming.

From Atlantis to interzone
You start on the edge and you end on your own.
From Atlantis to interzone
You start on the edge and you end on your own

We're fragments of fiction

Your dead man half alive who hangs from helping numbers one to five
His ears pricked with the knife hears that the east are coming, west are coming
From gravity's rainbow, the axis here is still unknown
The children's faces glow
The wasteland guides them, wasteland guides them.

The grave diggers getting stuck in the machine
pickings getting slim, slimmer
I hear them say my name
regin-ah, regin-ah, regin-a-ah

yes I'm putting the boulder to my ear
and I still can't hear
whadya think I was an amateur
playin' with my temperature...

If I hear another song about angels
if I see another feather on the dumb-box
I'm gonna go to Babylon and get me some whiskey
Gonna get me some whiskey now...
If I hear another song about angels
if I see another feather on the dumb-box
I'm gonna go to Babylon and get me some whiskey now

My name is Lucille and I know how you feel
I live downstairs
I hear you taking out your garbage
I hear you loving your girlfriend
I hear you loving yourself too
I hear you turning your thoughts off
I turn mine off too
The only thing I hear is you
and you don't sound good and you don't sound nice
and you don't sound good and you don't sound right

and it get's quiet...

Pavlov's daughter woke up in the morning
Heard the bell ring
And something deep inside of her made her want to salivate
So she lay there drooling on her pillow
So she lay there, the sun skimming her skin,
and drooling on her pillow
Pavlov's daughter
And it was far away and hazy like a dream
not a dream, but the ocean,
not the ocean, but forever...

The grave diggers getting stuck in the machine...
...And it gets quiet...
As quiet as an ambulance checking out the neighborhood,
waiting for the blade to slip and that final blow,
but nothing happens, it's a cruel joke
as ironic as a ticker tape parade over the rain forest,
as ironic as a ticker tape parade over my head,
as ironic as a ticker tape parade over my head
going down stream...
to where...it isn't... even... real...rain... at...all...
 
I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I cant keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
Its hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
Its worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Down

because of this and this
thread

:( :(

I've just cried my eyes out over the death of some one I didn't know
 
Reality folds

Massive great crack

A mirror world

The black hole exerts her attraction

My vector collapses its whole



Atom explodes

All known parameters broken

Change is the only equation

A piece is a part of the whole



If you come back to my house

I'll make some coffee and some toast

If you come back to my house

I'll make some coffee and some toast

If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)

If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)

If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)

If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)



There's nowhere to go

Fall through the holes in the fabric

If you have magic then use it

Nothing to lose but control



Reality falls

Every known law must be broken

Every defence is just token

Some pieces are part of the whole



If you come back to my house

I'll make some coffee and some toast

If you come back to my house

I'll make some coffee and some toast



If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)

If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)

If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)

If you come back to my house

(Come back, come back)

repeat to end
 
What we wanted was: chain lightning
what we wanted was: 8 miles high
What we wanted was: freefall & our turn to fly
What we wanted was: more fireworks
Everlasting 4th of July
What we wanted was: more stars in a bluer sky

All we wanted was something worth it
Worth the labour, worth the wait
Then they take you up to the mountain
And you see too late.
In the middle of a good time
Truth gave me her icy kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this

What we wanted was: consolation
the hand of strangers, help for pain
What we wanted was: to be sure no friends were lost in vain
What we wanted was: aggravation
a good cause and a bigger row
What we wanted was: the whole Plantation - Now! Now! Now!

All we wanted was something worth it
worth the labour, worth the wait
Then they take you up to the mountain
And you see too late.
In the middle of a good time
Truth gave me her icy kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this

In the middle of a good time
Truth gave me her icy kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this

What we wanted was: rhyme and reason
what we wanted was: another way
what we get is: a tinpot heaven, & we're too drunk to pray
What we get is: the old machinery,
Grinding on in the same old way
What we need is the sweet republic
- roll on Independence Day!

In the middle of a good time
Truth gave me her icy kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this

In the middle of a good time
Truth gave me her arse to kiss
Look around, you must be joking
All that way, all that way for this
All that way, all that way for this
All that way, we've come all that way for this!

Sadie, white coat,

Had this one on myself earlier. I absolutely love this section:

This is an old song,
these are old blues.
This is not my tune,
but it's mine to use.
And the seabirds
where the fear once grew
will flock with a fury,
and they will bury what'd come for you
 
Somebody told me today
Let slip in a casual way
Nobody seemed to care anycase
I didn't realise, I turned away

Somebody told me today
And though my mind was miles away
Slowly the pain welled inside
As I realised he'd died

Take no heroes, only inspiration
And if you learn nothing from his life
Learn this from his death
The man may die but his dream survives
I headed out, walked the town
Staring sick & lonely
Strange faces passed
And they didn't know ...

I wanted to tell them so but
Oh the rain beat hard & cold
A finer truth hit hard
Took hold

Take no heroes, only inspiration
And if you learn nothing from his life
Learn this one thing
The man may die
The man may die but his dream survives
Take no heroes
Take no heroes
Take no heroes

No way I could explain
No one to explain it to anyway
But a tearful misery's a sorry legacy
And this is not the time for sad obituaries
The rain beat hard and cold

Learn this thing
Take no heroes
Take no heroes
Take no heroes
Take no heroes

The man may die
The man may die
The man may die
But he's dream survives
Take no heroes
